Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Gluten-free bread
- 8 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 large Tomato
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Slice the large tomato into about 1/4 inch thick slices and set aside.
Brush 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil on one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.
Place the slices of bread, oil-side down, on the grill pan or skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the bread and assemble the sandwiches: On two of the slices, layer alternating slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and tomato.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the mozzarella and tomato slices.
Place four fresh basil leaves on each sandwich.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze evenly over the fillings on each sandwich.
Top each with the remaining slices of grilled bread, oil-side up.
Return the sandwiches to the grill pan or skillet (if needed, in batches) and grill each side for an additional 2-3 minutes, pressing down gently, until the cheese is slightly melted and everything is heated through.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
